How-To Geek: Why Immich succeeded where every other Google Photos alternative failed. “It seemed like Immich came out of nowhere, but suddenly all my colleagues appear to be using it. I’m not as into self-hosting as some of them, so perhaps that’s why I’m surprised, but the more I look into it, the more obvious it seems that this photo management solution is turning into a sleeper hit.

It’s FOSS: 7 Open Source Trello Alternatives For Your Kanban Boards. “After its acquisition and recent AI surge, Trello has changed a lot. But I still miss its simplicity in Kanban style tools I have tried so far. As I lean more towards, open source and self-hosting, I have collected a bunch of projects that can be considered in the same league as Trello.”

How-To Geek: I tested 6 Google Maps alternatives—this is the one I’m sticking with. “As good as Google Maps is, I’ve long found it cluttered and bloated, offering features that I never use.

TechCrunch: As TV-tracking app TV Time shuts down, its founder builds Bingers, a new home for fans. “Bingers will offer TV Time’s existing users a potential lifeline soon after the original app disappears from the app stores.

Juha-Matti Santala: A sign of a good tool is that you don’t notice it – one year with wallabag. “A year ago in June, 2025, when Mozilla shut down Pocket, I took a look at the alternatives and ended up choosing wallabag. I’ve been using it daily ever since.”

MakeUseOf: I replaced Lightroom with this free app and I only miss it a little. “So if you’re tired of spending hundreds of dollars, at the very least, to be able to edit a few photos, you’re using the wrong program. There’s a photo-editing app so good that it can easily replace Lightroom, and you give up only one thing in return.”

It’s a desktop application that lets you run LLMs fully offline — much like LM Studio, but not only is it completely free, it’s also open-source, with all the source code being available on GitHub.
